GoDaddy DNS Outage affects TOR

[drew02a]

As I'm sure you've all noticed, TOR is currently inaccessible for the vast majority of you. I'm only able to write this post after doing some DNS Jujutsu. It is a direct result of the GoDaddy DNS servers going down. You can read more about the outage here:

It is possible to prevent these kind of outages by adding an entry in your computer's "hosts" file that looks like this

Might take awhile for the issues to trickle down to your network, if it happens at all
